1/ The alt-right is about to get banned from a high profile service. I want to give journalists some context before we get hysterical thinkpieces.

Microsoft was heavily criticised this year after it was discovered ICE was using their Azure cloud technology to deport people.
2/ Gab is a Target knockoff of Twitter built on Microsoft Azure. I've used it, it's an alt-right hellhole.

Example: Former GOP official Todd Kincannon was banned from Twitter and moved to Gab. He is facing charges of ritually murdering his mother's dog.

3/ Posts on Gab routinely call for things like "the eradication of all Jews."

Microsoft decided it didn't want Azure used to recruit Holocaust enthusiasts, and gave Gab notice that if they didn't take action they would revoke their Azure access.
4/ Doctors have ethical standards.
Lawyers have ethical standards.
Journalists have ethical standards.

It's LONG PAST TIME technology started developing standards about the things people do with the technology we build. "Do nothing" and "Anything goes" is indefensible in 2018.

Sitting next to the world’s most awkward first date on earth, and cannot help but overhear.

She’s horrified at his political opinions, and he’s thrilled. Ignoring every social cue and pushing through.

“Let me tell you why all college should be paid for with students loans.”
2/
 👱🏻‍♂️: “Why should I pay a penny for someone’s college. That’s state violence.”
🧕🏻: “I paid for college with student loans.”
👱🏻‍♂️: “No, I mean all college funding. Kill it all. Privatize the whole thing.”
3/
 🧕🏻: “But how would people pay for that?”
👱🏻‍♂️: Bank lends you money. Kill all state funding. You want it, you borrow to pay for it.”
🧕🏻: “But what abo...”
👱🏻‍♂️: “The state might as well be putting a gun to my head. It’s theft. Taxes are a violation of my human rights.”

1/ Fun Fact about #Revolution60 play test data, and the human need to please people.

When I designed the gameplay, I wanted to make a strong statement about political moderates.

The game is built to make you choose between two characters, and two moral alignments.
2/ You can be professional and follow the rules, or you can be rogue and do what it takes to accomplish your mission.

You also have to side with either Minuete, who represents sacrifice - or Amelia. She represents individuality.
3/ The gameplay of #revolution60 is designed to let you play through it, then you see the outcome of your choices.

Do you kill your friend or fail your mission? Do you obey unreasonable orders or commit treason?

It’s four hours of that, then you see the consequences.

Polls just closed. It’s all over. Nothing to do but watch the results come in.

If I win, the next few months will be a free for all.

If I lose, I hope you will all understand. I’m going to take a step back from the public eye and recharge before starting 2020.
2/ A few thoughts about what we did right and where we can improve.

Our campaign raised almost $200,000. And truth be told, I did not put nearly the amount of work into this that I should have. For 2020, I’m going to spend more time on this and hire a much larger team.
3/ I’ve said this in interviews before, but my biggest mistake early on was NOT HIRING EXPERIENCED PEOPLE at the beginning.

I thought I could do it like a startup, and we could learn as we went.

By the time I realized that was a failing strategy, it was too late.

This all started because the #MetPolice & #LBRUT couldn't do their day jobs properly & decided to take the law into their own hands. It started as a small cover up 12 years ago but has turned into British State Persecution.

#Skynews #BBCNews #DailyMail #Guardian #Euronews
My company was raided. It should have been a straightforward matter. But the #MetPolice & #LBRUT forgot to seize my computer & came back to do a 2nd raid. The search warrant didn't permit a second entry, however, #LBRUT entered unlawfully

#Guardian #Telegraph #DailyMail #GMB #UK
Complaints were then made to my MP #VinceCable. He liaised with the #Metpolice & #LBRUT. And then weeks later, the search warrant was completely changed & was passed off as the search warrant executed on the day of the raids.

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

This is getting really frustrating so here I go with some reasons why this collab is problematic and potentially detrimental to the boys' career in Korea. I'm not going to use their group name and I will be censoring the man in question because I don't want outsiders to find it.
Ak*mot* Y*sushi is a famous songwriter/lyricist who is famous for producing Japanese girl groups like Ony*nko C*ub and AK*4*. He has a history of writing very sexist, misogynistic, female objectifying lyrics that also sexualize/fetishize young girls.
For example: his song See-ra-fuku-wo-nugasanaide (or, Don't take my Sailor Clothes Off), this is a capture of the english translation from a third party site. Many people are accusing K-Army of false translations so I google searched the lyrics and here they are:

Right now the Left in the media and the political arena is making a desperate bid to DIVIDE Trump supporters by race.

"You can't POSSIBLY want THOSE people to come join your lilly white, whites first, save the white race MAGA movement! ADMIT IT! YOU DON'T WANT THEM HERE!"
Well f**k you, Lefties. I DO WANT THEM HERE. I'LL TAKE'EM. I'LL TAKE'EM ALL.

Every Black, Hispanic, Asian, Pacific Islander, whatever. I DON'T SEE SKIN COLOR.

You've lied about MAGA for going on 4 years now. "It's a white people thing." you claimed.

No, you're dead wrong
MAGA is an AMERICAN thing, not a 'white people' thing.

And Americans come in all colors, genders, classes.

Even when I was Never Trump I was pointing out most of these Alt Right white supremacist accounts were really Leftists trying to fool people into equating Trump = racist

 Hey.
#journalists .
THIS is why we despise you, why we hate you, why we consider you un-American scum, shills, Vichy, traitors, Gulag-guards, and generally the tapeworms of humanity:

 Let's dissect this, #journalists.

It's AP; a "standard", right?
Starts with a hot headline:

"Trump’s on a hot streak: Court rulings, vacancy, summit plan"

Clickbait, some would say.
A lure, for the faithful; hate-bait, for the h8ers.

 "...given the president a reprieve from images of migrant children being separated from their families at the border..."

You fuckers.
It happened under Obama.
And Bush.

Where were you then?
But this is just a throw-away line, a little shiv in the kidney, you prison-shits.
